A Trip Down Nostalgia Lane
Just as the seasons change, so do situation. And while India is fighting back the pandemic with full force, we hope and pray that June beholds its best for all of us.
The mid-summers holds a special place down our nostalgia lane. With the bittersweet memories of reopening of schools, the anticipatory butterflies in the stomach till the time you don’t see your besties in the same division as yours’, new desk-sharing neighbour whose boundaries are soon going to be infiltrated; this season always brings back chillness to our veins.
The chillness only intensifies with the FIRST RAINS which brings about a much needed respite. Its almost a cliché to talk about the aromatic smell of damp soil, breeziness and grey skies accompanied with the perennial favourite – Adrak wali Chai. Some clichés are clichés because they’re just plain good.
I'll leave you all here with the idea of a very warm and fuzzy feeling inside, hot steaming tea and rains outside.
Raindrops keep falling on my head 🎵 🎵
See you next Friday! Stay Safe! Sleep Well!
